When I go to Bookmark a Page (by clicking on the icon in the Address Bar), the folder that automatically appears is OTHER BOOKMARKS. Is there a way to change this default bookmark to another Bookmark / Folder? Specifically, I have created a new Bookmark folder, let's say it is called RECIPES and I want to automatically / default all future bookmarks to my Recipes folder. I hope that is clear. Thank you.

Firefox 85 saves the last used folder in a preference named

browser.bookmarks.defaultLocation

and then uses that for the next save, and so on.

What you see in about:config is a unique key value not the actual folder name, so don't be surprised if it's completely unreadable.

Future Firefox versions will come with new features for handling bookmarks.

One of them it to allow setting a default folder for saving a new bookmark (toolbar|menu|unfiled).

  • browser.bookmarks.defaultLocation = [toolbar|menu|unfiled|guid]

There will be more options for showing the Bookmarks Toolbar in Firefox 85 (checkbox for showing the BT will become a sub menu: newtab|always|never).

  • browser.toolbars.bookmarks.visibility = [newtab|always|never]

These new features are still under development and are currently behind a Boolean pref named browser.toolbars.bookmarks.2h2020 that is false for now, enabling these new features is at your own risk.

Thank you, I think. I enjoy using technology. I enjoy troubleshooting issues and attempting to resolve on my own when feasible. Your answer tells me to wait for V. 85 and I will be able to do what I want. However, your references to various files / locations / BT / et al are too technical for me and I would not know where to start, nor how to proceed. I will simply wait for V. 85

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".

Dear cor-el - Your answer / comments above state "Future versions ...new features ... one of them to allow setting a default folder for saving a new bookmark. In the last few days I have received and updated Firefox to V.85 I have looked for the feature allowing me to set a default folder for saving new bookmarks. I have read the Support pages in Help for using Bookmarks. However, I have not seen anywhere in V.85 or in the commentary that points me to setting a bookmarks default folder. Was this new feature not turned on in V.85? If it was turned on, where do I find it and how do I use it? Thank you.

The only way to get a fixed default folder in 85+ would be to use an autoconfig.cfg file to lock browser.bookmarks.defaultLocation to the folder you want to use.


//
lockPref("browser.bookmarks.defaultLocation", "unfiled"); //[toolbar|menu|unfiled|guid]
